Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate on Current Sensor Modules

Infineon Technologies and Swoboda have joined forces to develop cutting-edge current sensor modules tailored for automotive applications. This collaboration merges Infineon's current sensor ICs with Swoboda's proficiency in creating and industrializing sensor modules for power modules in hybrid and electric vehicles.

The primary focus of these sensors is on high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, in addition to other critical automotive uses. The initial outcome of this partnership is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, a fully encapsulated current sensor module that boasts a significantly reduced footprint while maintaining top-notch performance.

This module, built on the foundation of the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, enables high-precision sensing with a total error rate below 2 percent. It is meticulously crafted for seamless integration with the HybridPACK Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module designed for traction inverters in electric vehicles.

"This new generation of current sensors establishes new benchmarks in terms of simplified system integration," remarked Klaus Lebherz, Swoboda's Head of Business Development. "The combination of Infineon's latest sensor technology and our expertise in injection molding has proven to be a perfect match."

"The market is calling for high-performance, compact, and easily integrable current sensing solutions," noted Andrea Monterastelli, Head of Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies. "The seamless compatibility with Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 provides the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by our top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and Swoboda's specialized knowledge."

Infineon and Swoboda are actively working on developing additional module designs for inverter DC link and high-voltage battery management, among other applications. For more details on these innovative products, visit the official websites of Swoboda and Infineon.
